A SHARKS TALE

If you’re not a fan of the horror film Jaws then look away now. For these dramatic pictures show a diver getting up close and personal with a SHARK. With its piercing sharp teeth and 9ft presence, the 2.5metre long man eater could strike at any second, but instead appears unusually placid as it is pictured here breaking the surface at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. The impressive images show the lemon sharks caught between the aquatic and terrestrial worlds Photographer Andrew Murch captured the shots while on an adventurous dive. He has spent nearly two decades swimming with sharks, encountering more than 60 species
